Take away the first word from the string

How to remove the first word away in Smarty from a string, that looks like:

$variable = "Word Quick brown fox";

And make it look like this afterwards on the output:

$variable = "Quick brown fox";

Is there a way to do this without modifiers? I know you can make custom modifier and then use $variable|customModifier and get what you want but I thought maybe there is already inbuilt solution for that?

Explode the original string into an array via the space between the words, then slice out the chosen index key. Then implode the array back to a string.

<?php
$variable = "Word Quick brown fox";
$str = explode(' ', $variable);
$str = array_slice($str, 1);
$str = implode(' ', $str);
echo $str;
?>

As Tyler points out, this should be done in your business logic, like so:

  1. explode() on a space to create an array of words
  2. Remove the first entry with array_shift() (corresponding to the first word in the sentence)
  3. Join it back together with implode()

Here is an example:

$words = explode( ' ', $variable);
array_shift( $words);
$variable = implode( ' ', $words);
